- Furthermore, the recess can provide a latching edge on the busbar component. This latching edge can be used, for example, in such a way that one or more latching connections are arranged on the insulating material housing, which enclose the busbar component and latch onto the latching edge of the recess.
- The busbar component may have a fastening element for fastening the clamping spring to the busbar component. In particular, the fastening element is designed as a fastening tab.
- Thereby, it is conceivable that the clamping spring can be suspended in the fastening tab in a self-supporting manner. This has the advantage that the clamping spring can be attached to the busbar without additional fasteners.
- The recess of the connecting section may be arranged substantially central between the first conductor receiving section and the second conductor receiving section.
- The recess can extend over the side surfaces. In particular, the recess is U-shaped in a cross section perpendicular to the first conductor insertion direction and/or to the second conductor insertion direction. The U-shaped recess can further save material and provide a higher latching edge.
- The top surface can be designed as a conductor run-up chamfer. In particular, the top surface can be V-shaped in a cross section in the direction of the first conductor insertion direction and/or the second conductor insertion direction.
- By designing the top surface as a conductor run-up chamfer, existing contours can be used to facilitate the insertion of an electrical conductor. The top surface can thereby be designed to ascend towards the first conductor insertion direction and/or the second conductor insertion direction. This creates a funnel-shaped first and/or second conductor receiving section expanding against the conductor insertion direction for guiding the first electrical conductor and/or the second electrical conductor. The electrical conductors to be clamped can be inserted with a large cross section into the respective conductor receiving section, wherein the cross section tapers towards the respective clamping point, so that the electrical conductors can be securely clamped in the respective clamping points.
- The clamping spring may have a contact leg, a clamping leg, and a spring arc arranged between the contact leg and clamping leg, wherein the clamping leg extends towards the busbar component and has a spring clamping edge for clamping the first electrical conductor and/or the second electrical conductor.
- A conductor stop can be arranged on the conductor connection terminal for positioning the first electrical conductor to be clamped and/or the second electrical conductor to be clamped, wherein the conductor stop is arranged in the area of the recess. Furthermore, the conductor stop can be arranged on the insulating material housing.
- The conductor stop serves to correctly position the electrical conductors to be clamped. The electrical conductors are thereby guided into the conductor connection terminal until they are blocked by the conductor stop. The electrical conductors to be clamped can then be clamped in this position. It is conceivable that a conductor stop is provided for the first electrical conductor to be clamped and for the second electrical conductor to be clamped. Opposite sides of the conductor stop are then assigned to one of the electrical conductors to be clamped, respectively. However, it is also conceivable that a separate conductor stop is assigned to each electrical conductor to be clamped.
- In order to provide a conductor stop in a structurally simple manner, it can be arranged on the insulating material housing, wherein the conductor stop engages in the recess of the busbar component. However, it is also possible for the conductor stop to be arranged on the busbar component itself, for example, and to protrude into the recess of the busbar component.
- The insulating material housing can be transparent at least in the area of the conductor stop, wherein the conductor stop is visible through the insulating material housing.
- By forming a transparent insulating material housing, a check of the insertion depth of the electrical conductors to be clamped is created, wherein the user can actively check by means of the housing whether the respective electrical conductor is positioned at the conductor stop. In this case, it is conceivable that markings are arranged on the busbar component and/or on the insulating material housing, wherein the markings indicate the minimum insertion depth of the first electrical conductor and / or of the second electrical conductor. The minimum insertion depth is the depth at which secure clamping of the electrical conductors to the busbar component can be ensured. Such markings can, for example, take the form of colored markings or indentations.
- A test opening can be arranged on the insulating material housing, wherein the test opening is aligned transversely with respect to the first electrical conductor to be clamped and/or transversely to the second electrical conductor to be clamped and extends from the surface of the insulating material housing through the insulating material housing towards the busbar component. By means of such a test opening, the busbar component can be contacted with external measuring devices.
- The conductor connection terminal may have an actuating lever, wherein the actuating lever is arranged for deflecting the first clamping leg and/or the second clamping leg. In particular, the conductor connection terminal may have a support surface for the actuating lever.
- This enables easy opening and/or closing of the clamping point without any further aids. It is conceivable that the conductor connection terminal has at least two actuating levers, wherein in each case one actuating lever interacts with one of the clamping legs, so that one actuating lever is set up for opening and/or closing a clamping point. The clamping points can then be opened or closed independently of one another. Releasing the electrical conductor from the clamping point is thereby preferably not possible without lever actuation.
- The support for the actuating lever enables a closed power flow through the conductor connection terminal, so that selective peak loads can be reduced. The support can be implemented, for example, as a support tab, wherein the support tab is arranged in the first conductor insertion direction or the second conductor insertion direction or a support tab is in each case arranged in each of the two conductor insertion directions upstream of the conductor receiving section. It is conceivable that the support is arranged, for example, on the insulating material housing and/or on the clamping spring and/or on the busbar component. Multiple supports promote improved load distribution, caused by the actuating lever.
- The recess can be closed by the insulating material housing. For example, the recess can be closed in such a way that the insulating material housing protrudes into the recess or the insulating material housing is guided past the recess from the outside in direct or indirect proximity.
- The undefined term “a” is to be understood as such and not as a numeral. Thus, it is also conceivable that the conductor connection terminal according to the invention has a multitude of busbar components arranged side by side. For example, two, three, four or five busbar components may be arranged side by side in an insulating material housing, wherein the busbar components each have two clamping springs for two electrical conductors to be clamped.
- Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes, combinations, and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
- The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus, are not limitive of the present invention, and wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a conductor connection terminal in a perspective view; -
FIG. 2a shows a conductor connection terminal according toFIG. 1 in a sectioned side view without inserted electrical conductor; -
FIG. 2b shows an enlarged section of a conductor connection terminal according toFIG. 2 a; -
FIG. 3a shows a conductor connection terminal according toFIGS. 1-2 b in a sectioned side view with inserted electrical conductor; -
FIG. 3b shows an enlarged section of a conductor connection terminal according toFIG. 3a ; and -
FIG. 4 shows a conductor connection terminal with an insulating material housing in a side sectional view. -
FIG. 1 shows aconductor connection terminal 1 in a perspective view in a first embodiment. Theconductor connection terminal 1 has abusbar component 2, wherein in each case afirst clamping spring 3 a and asecond clamping spring 3 b are arranged at the diametrically opposite ends of thebusbar component 2. The clamping springs 3 a, 3 b each have acontact leg spring arc leg leg busbar component 2, wherein the clampingleg spring clamping edge busbar component 2 a first clamping point for a first electrical conductor to be clamped and a second clamping point for a second electrical conductor to be clamped. - It can be seen that a first
conductor receiving section 8 a for the first electrical conductor to be clamped and a secondconductor receiving section 8 b for the second electrical conductor to be clamped are arranged at the diametrically opposite ends of thebusbar component 2, respectively. It is clear that theconductor receiving sections conductor receiving sections top section top surface 9 associated with thecontact leg bottom section 12 associated with thespring clamping edge top section bottom section 12 are connected to one another via twoside surfaces 13 and form a contiguousconductor receiving section conductor receiving sections section 8 c, wherein theconductor receiving sections section 8 c comprise the commontop surface 9. - Viewed in a first conductor insertion direction L1 or a second conductor insertion direction L2 upstream of the
conductor receiving sections busbar component 2 comprises a preferably integrally formed tab-shapedconductor contact section spring clamping edge - It can also be seen that two
fastening tabs top surface 9 of thebusbar component 2, wherein thefastening tabs top surface 9. One of the clamping springs 3 a, 3 b is suspended in each of thefastening tabs - However, it is also conceivable that the clamping springs 3 a, 3 b are formed as a single clamping spring with two clamping
legs top surface 9 of thebusbar component 2. -
FIG. 2a shows aconductor connection terminal 1 according toFIG. 1 in a sectioned side view without an inserted electrical conductor. It can be seen that thebusbar component 2 has in each case abusbar clamping edge conductor contact sections busbar clamping edge conductor connection terminal 1 is provided which has a large conductor holding force. By forming thebusbar clamping edge busbar clamping edge - However, it is also conceivable that the busbar clamping edges 11 a, 11 b have even smaller radii. This further improves the effect of cutting into the electrical conductor.
- It can further be seen that the
bottom section 12 of thebusbar component 2 can form a support for the electrical conductors to be clamped. Thebottom section 12 can thereby comprise the tab-shapedconductor contact sections bottom section 12 and thetop surface 9 are thereby connected to each other via two opposite side surfaces 13. It is clear thatbottom section 12 and side surfaces 13 have arecess 14 in the area of the connectingsection 8 c. Therecess 14 is thereby arranged substantially central between the firstconductor receiving section 8 a and the secondconductor receiving section 8 b. Substantially central means that therecess 14 is arranged such that theconductor receiving sections - The
recess 14 extends over half of the connectingsection 8 c. The half here refers to the area that therecess 14 occupies in the side view. Thebusbar component 2 is formed in a U-shape in cross section by therecess 14 extending over thebottom section 12 and both side surfaces 13. The U-shaped configuration can ensure a good current flow and a stableconductor connection terminal 1. - It is further evident that the
top surface 9 is designed as a conductor run-up chamfer, wherein thetop surface 9 is V-shaped. In this case, the cross section of theconductor receiving sections conductor connection terminal 1 up to the area of the connectingsection 8 c. In this way, a corresponding electrical conductor can be inserted into the larger cross section of theconductor receiving sections -
FIG. 2b shows an enlarged section of theconductor connection terminal 1 according toFIG. 2a . The area around thebusbar clamping edge 11 a is shown enlarged. This would make clear that thebusbar clamping edge 11 a is arranged on abusbar clamping section 18. Thebusbar clamping section 18 is cut or punched out of thebusbar component 2. - It can further be seen that the
busbar component 2 has adip 15 and adepression 16, wherein thedip 15 is arranged downstream of thebusbar clamping edge 11 a with respect to the first conductor insertion direction L1 and thedepression 16 is arranged upstream of thebusbar clamping edge 11 a with respect to the first conductor insertion direction L1. Thedepression 16 is formed in such a way that it can receive thespring clamping edge 7 a when no electric conductor is inserted in theconductor connection terminal 1. In this way, the clampingspring 3 a can be further stabilized, wherein the transport safety of theconductor connection terminal 1 can be increased. - By means of the
dip 15, abusbar clamping edge 11 a can be created at a sufficient height in relation to the busbar so that thebusbar clamping edge 11 a can be embedded into the electrical conductor to be clamped at this height. However, care must be taken to limit the height, as otherwise damage may occur to the electrical conductor to be clamped. - Furthermore, it is clear that the distance ΔA2 between a plane E extending through the
busbar clamping edge 11 a and parallel to the first conductor insertion direction L1 and thebusbar 2 is greater behind thebusbar clamping edge 11 a than the distance ΔA1 upstream of thebusbar clamping edge 11 a. -
FIG. 3a shows aconductor connection terminal 1 according toFIGS. 1-2 b in a sectioned side view with an inserted firstelectrical conductor 17.FIG. 3b shows an enlarged section of theconductor connection terminal 1 according toFIG. 3a . In this case, the area around thebusbar clamping edge 11 a is shown enlarged. - It is clear that the first
electrical conductor 17 is held clamped between thespring clamping edge 7 a and thebusbar clamping edge 11 a on thebottom section 12 of thebusbar component 2. Thebusbar clamping edge 11 a is thereby formed as a hook, wherein thebusbar clamping edge 11 a cuts into the firstelectrical conductor 17 in the opposite direction of the first conductor insertion direction L1 when the firstelectrical conductor 17 is pulled, and thus is embedded into the firstelectrical conductor 17. In this way, a correspondingly high holding force can be exerted on the firstelectrical conductor 17, wherein the firstelectrical conductor 17 can be held fixed in the clamping point of theconductor connection terminal 1. - A second electrical conductor could be clamped in the same way to the diametrically opposite end of the clamped first
electrical conductor 17. - The
busbar clamping edge 11 a can thereby be designed more rigid than thespring clamping edge 7 a. The increased rigidity of thebusbar clamping edge 11 a as compared to theclamping spring 7 a can ensure that thebusbar clamping edge 11 a cuts into the electrical conductor to be clamped. -
FIG. 4 shows aconductor connection terminal 1 with an insulatingmaterial housing 19 in a sectioned side view with abusbar component 2 arranged in the insulatingmaterial housing 19. Two clampingsprings busbar component 2 at diametrically opposite ends. The clamping springs 3 a, 3 b have acontact leg spring arc leg legs spring clamping edge busbar component 2 for a first electrical conductor to be clamped and a second clamping point for a second electrical conductor to be clamped. - The
conductor connection terminal 1 has two actuatinglevers actuating lever clamping spring legs - It is further clear that the
conductor connection terminal 1 has aconductor stop 21, wherein theconductor stop 21 is arranged on the insulatingmaterial housing 2. The conductor stop serves to position the first electrical conductor to be clamped and the second electrical conductor to be clamped, wherein theconductor stop 21 is arranged in the area of therecess 14 of thebusbar component 2. Theconductor stop 21 is thereby guided through therecess 14 in thebottom section 12 of thebusbar component 2. In an advantageous embodiment, the insulatingmaterial housing 19 is transparent at least in the area of therecess 14. By forming a transparent insulating material housing, a way to check the insertion depth of the electrical conductors to be clamped is created, wherein the user can actively check whether the respective electrical conductor is positioned at the conductor stop 21 by means of the insulatingmaterial housing 19. - A
test opening 22 is arranged on theconductor connection terminal 1, wherein thetest opening 22 extends from the surface of the insulatingmaterial housing 19 through the insulatingmaterial housing 19 towards thebusbar component 2. Thetest opening 22 extends transversely, in particular orthogonally, to the first conductor insertion direction L1. Through thetest opening 22, thebusbar component 2 can be contacted with external measuring devices, for example. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are to be included within the scope of the following claims.
